Food for Your Lips

Here’s another glorified meals on wheels extravaganza aka the Tucson Food Truck Roundup. Most of you don’t have to go to work the next day so go out and support your local food truck. This event, sponsored by Dinnerware Artspace, keeps growing and growing.

About 20 gourmet food trucks make a big circle in an otherwise empty parking lot (sort of like a wagon train for you cowboys & cowgirls). As you sample a variety of foods, you can also enjoy the Sonoran sunset and live music by The Awkward Moments
